    Executive Director Spotlight

    • For the Love of Learning

      - Kathy Stevens

      Executive Director, MCAEL

      08/29/2022


      Today is the day.  It is the first day of school in Montgomery County, MD for over 160,000 students, their teachers, para-educators, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and all the others that make education possible, including parents and families.  I love this time of year. I love learning. Here at MCAEL, we will be studying and practicing just as much as the kids in MCPS classrooms and adults in MCAEL classes -my staff and I have started Spanish classes together-- working to improve our communication with many of the MCAEL network’s 11,000 adult English learners who speak Spanish. This morning I brought homemade zucchini bread to work which has been promptly labeled, pan de calabacin.  The promise of a new year- new learnings, new teachings, new questions, and answers brings me hope. I wish everyone an inspirational and safe year full of challenges and successes. And now to get to work after “liking” all the first-day photos on social media.
